Romanian PSL and Russian Izhmash Tiger |
 |
|
|
Romanian PSL butt stock has a built-in cheek riser. |
 |
Both scopes mount high enough to still use the iron sights. |
 |
The PSL hand guards mount top and bottom. The Izhmash Tiger hand guards mount left and right. |
 |
Scope rails are similar but not identical. Both use the same scope mount base. |
 |
PSL has a rear tang at the comb. |
 |
Bolt carriers and recoil spring. |
 |
The PSL has a muzzle brake that is sometimes welded on. The Tiger would benefit from a brake because the rifle kicks hard when fired. |
 |
Gas tubes and sling mounting points. |
 |
The PSL gas tube remoes exactly like an AK. |
 |
Tiger gas piston assembly. |
 |
The PSL has a one-piece bolt carrier and gas piston. |
 |
The Tiger's recoil spring mounts to the receiver cover. |
 |
The Romanian scope (top) can be ID'd by the missing battery compartment and switch box. |
 |

 |
Both magazines hold 5 rounds of 7.62x54r but are not interchangable. |
 |
Both are loaded from the middle of the top and each cartridge is pushed back into the magazine. The ensures the rims of the cartridges are aligned right. |
